... D C Bureau Wall Street Journal's online political show on your side ... presidential campaign a surprisingly tense surprisingly early ... we're going to talk about all that with Debbie Wasserman Schultz the chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee Congresswoman from Ford and thanks for joining us ... you know the ... tough it out there are eighty from your side on the net Romney his business record at Bain Capital outsourcing of jobs ... tax returns ... ones is so negative soberly ... well what I really don't ... consider this negative it's factual ... in in Mitt Romney ... with the ... small glimpse of ... tax returns that he's given us one year ... on ... it he has a Swiss bank account ... he has invested in the Caymans ... he has a bevy of cooperation he transferred to his wife's name the day before he became governor Massachusetts ... and those on the low tax havens tax shelters and so ... the question becomes ... if he hasn't done that ... to avoid paying taxes he would vote in the nine states ... and why that it was a therefore ... and so ... getting a ... few of his tax returns for multiple years what answer those questions and that's why ... the major party candidates for president for decades and on his own father of the least costly years of returns ... present Obama has invited a dozen your returns ... but not Mitt Romney and he needs to come clean ... it's side is obviously something that he doesn't want people to see ... and so that's why we are continually that you have ... you know I guess the fear that there's a recent study that said that non indigenous on both sides have been negative or comparative rather than positive so far so that seems to be the tenor of this campaign the question is this another another thing that it's important to note it Mitt Romney has based his entire ... qualification ... for president ... and and that that experience that he has ... at Bain capital is the reason and that people should vote for him ... still examining his entire record at Bain Capital's important and ... so ... he said he left Bain capital in nineteen ninety nine only ... last week the Boston Globe that ... initiated the deep investigation in which it was revealed that ... they know he he didn't simply not true he was sole owner ... CEO and president of Bain until August of two thousand won ... and so ... he needs to be held accountable for ... the job losses that cuts the offshoring all of the act of activity that happened during that time ... and if he doesn't wanna be held accountable he says it wasn't there and had to do that ... it's pretty disturbing because he signed the SCC documents ... that said that he wants to kick the ball ... prevent the the one to learn about being Capital in pursuing from being interpreted as an anti business in position for the party or that ... well because we celebrate success with great little book read to Mitt Romney or anyone else's success ... but ... Mitt Romney is the one that put his experience at Bain Capital ... on the table when he is the one that is asking the American people to take a look at his private sectors thing is that he is the fix it guy ... he's got the magic formula ... and so we need to look at that record ... that it would ... normally a candidate ... for president who was the governor of the state like mad Romley wasn't as governor Massachusetts will be talking about their record ... as governor ... but that money doesn't talk about his run to the tothe because it was very good well what is set at fifty in choppy action in more jobs manufacturing jobs in the jobs ... lost the top twice the national rate in manufacturing and ... cuts in education and ... so it's not a good record no wonder doesn't talk about but think where that is that they would like to focus to be on this president's economic record which is not so great either they were arguing so maybe that's the reason for the cardiac except that ... present a budget that the facts ... really are clear the present Obama inherited ... thanks to fail houses in the past the largest set of problems ... of any president since FDR ... and and economy who was hemorrhaging seven hundred fifty thousand jobs a month and ... thanks to his policies the recovery act for one which put it on to get on that image ... and allowed us to be a lot to ... do ... cause and ... begin to get things turned around an hour and twenty eight straight months of job growth ... in the private sector four point four million jobs created in ... a resurgence in the manufacturing sector jobs created their first time since the nineteen nineties ... rescue of American while automobile industry ... bringing our troops home from the war in Iraq ... making sure that we make because investments in small businesses ... in the middle class through tax breaks ... that will help them ... try that we can build the economy from the middle class out instead of ... the trickle down the tried and failed economics that Mitt Romney ... it's good to go back to ... that got us into the real the economics is at worst economic disaster any of us never see him ... I wonder though in terms of the tone of the campaign if it's going to be a nasty ... hundred and ten days or whatever is left between now and election day um ... with that that's a pretty good change for the president because he was the guy who's going to change the tone of political debate not spend a hard to do ... um and if he was going to be that ... the president with this of them are more of a post partisan world it has happened is not a problem for ... Watson president of its deserve the credit for trying and he is certainly ... at this outset of his presidency and right on through ... has tried to get Republicans to work with him ... to sit down around the table and compromise to work together on the debt ceiling deal ... on the on noggin and deficit reduction on job creation ... but they've made it very clear the Republicans have been its McConnell statements for example ... been very clear whether priorities I have no interest in working with him ... that might make them successful ... Mitch McConnell specifically said is number one goal ... was to defeat Barack Obama ... Mitt Romney ... in my home state when you grow one the primary in Florida ... said that you go with it that we we gotta remember what the selection is really about ... and I thought he did say that given the economy turned around are creating jobs ... and he said ... we have to remember what the selection is really about ... defeating Barack Obama ... so so it's the Republicans that have refused to come to the table and work together ... as Obama ... and Democrats that stand ready and willing ... and and are eager ... to work with Republicans would still be on the presidential race ... for second year running the entire party not just the presidential campaign obviously the house he was a realistic chance of taking back the house is it doesn't look from the outside is if there's much to shop there for them ... absolutely that we have had the teachable seek ... Aylett by my colleague Steve Israel is a ... better program a drive for twenty five with the wind twenty five seats to take the house back ... oh well positioned to do that if you look at comparatively ... the fund raising of the digital see versus the and RCC ... and individual candidates in key races ... our members are candidates are out raising Republicans to the Triple C has lapped the field with or ... without fund-raising compared to the RCC that's because ... the best reflection of the confidence ... that our donors have but also a reflection of the ... desire that ... our supporters have been wanting to continue to move this country in a direction that present Obama and Democrats have been pushing fighting for the middle class and working families in knots ... the direction of the Republicans of both because they've been ... really you did that that fall embrace and they're proud ... of the tea party extremists and I think that's not what voters lined up for the fuel to the money numbers more cheaply last couple months Mitt Romney in the Republican National Committee about raise the president and the Democratic National Committee in right now of the Republican Committee has about thirty million dollars more in cash on hand than you do are you headed for money from this fall ... while it what we've been doing and we're so proud that we had in fact two point four million dollars ... and counting and you are average contribution to the fifty dollars and twenty three cents ... on the twenty three cents that it matters that matters when you because you know what when someone parts of twenty three cents ... that means that they're making an investment they're they're saying to us ... we care about making sure ... that the little guy has a voice ... that that that that the better for the White House is fighting for the middle class and when that in the process of standing up the most significant grassroots presenter campaign in history ... and you know what I'm doing the things the same old way that that that that campaigns have always been done by Republicans which is ... basically what may Romney is doing is allowing ... a handful of billionaires to try to buy the White House ... we know the super PAC money is going to try to drown present Obama ... aam and and congressional Democrats this well ... and so we the people powered campaign ... we we yet we know that this president is probably going to be the first incumbent president to be outspent ... by E on buying his challenger ... and so we are making sure that ... on the ground would do in the door not sin ... and phone calls and we have office openings and ... as I travel the country I see our volunteers in our neighbourhood team leaders in our ... fellows and in turns ... to doing a fantastic job and ... I think that God ... although I think that that the corporate money is that is the opaque transparent ... and accountable corporate money ... is going to be massive on the other side ... that started our campaign fueled by ninety percent of our contributors ... being less than two and fifty dollars ... is in it you have a pretty good equaliser on the onthe ... the labor union side that levels of ... the Super PAC money ... pretty effective with the snow ... there is going to be no comparison ... in terms of ... the ... contract additions made to ... Democrats ... from the presidential campaign on down ... to the hundreds of millions of dollars ... that ... a handful of billionaires are pouring into Republican campaigns because it's very clear that ... they know the present Obama ... in pushing for Wall Street reform ... in making sure that the big banks and credit card companies can run over consumers any longer ... that that that's who has been fighting for successfully and that ... everybody deserves a fair shot at the Benicio view deserves a fair shake in a budget plan by the same set of rules and ... there's a lot of really wealthy people ... that don't agree with that and that Romney ... is that is telling them ... you don't worry ... on to take care of you and that's why those dollars ... are overflowing as what ... I would use when you step back from this campaign ... does that look you like either candidate either presidential candidate is building a mandate to govern I mean it that ... a campaign that so much about what the other guy hasn't done doesn't seem to me to be the coming campaign that's gonna create a mandate ... I think that ... on on what you mean I mean it because I'm ... certainly ... with or without a mandate ... he you're able to if you can build consensus ... and if you can dye into your finger on the pulse of what people care about ... you can get lots of things accomplished ... the Affordable Care Act ... was this huge deal ... and I you know I'd I don't think that it's only Pres Obama campaign on the post or we ... can access access to affordable healthcare for everyone ... but I'd given the struggles that he had that the ... large southern province of once and once in your neck like a set of any president since FDR ... passing ... landmark legislation like that ... bring our troops home from the misguided war in Iraq ... the rescue in the American automobile industry ... as Obama has really made sense to use the significant accomplishments ... and it did because of his leadership ... because of the way he's prioritize ... the issues that are important to Americans ... and committed to focusing finally ... on building an economy that targets meant to last and from the middle class out ... I think that will when he wins his re-election ... will carry him into the next PST file in your home state of Florida ... the Sunshine State um seems to be a tough state for the present ... because if nothing else the Housing crater hasn't really been filled yet how this for to look for Democrats ... alike and foreigners looking back I mean we really it's the biggest battleground state ... on a lot of money it's ... a it's going to be close race there where I go with this dog never different that it ... is and where to go right through the next hundred and ten days ... with the most significant ground game you've ever seen in a state we've been there ... the Obama campaign has since two thousandseven ... never left in organizing and mobilizing and ... know ... that the stock of housing since that is the the the been a drag on ... Florida's recovery ... president Obama ... has made a commitment and has been allowed to kill thousands of Floridians together for me in their homes ... or upside down ... who will face foreclosure ... and that's compared to net Romney ... Qu said we should just let the foreclosure crisis ... hit rock bottom ... and let investors come in and buy out those properties and sell them for a profit ... at least ... that's also how we need to solve the problem ... the Romney wants to allow Medicare to and been turned into a voucher program in ... L a CA seniors in my state ... and ... anything on Medicare ... the average of six thousand dollars more in premiums ... I know that the ... the priorities ... there are important if the radiance ... I really have been championed by Barack Obama and I think is a huge contrast ... the book I Brock Obama into the fall campaign ... and will result in a win for him in front of the store is really close to think the whole camp is going to close until we get to talk about again over the next three months appreciate time today thanks very much
